"Not just for children! A classic fantasy"
OK, I admit it. I have heard all the hoopla and decided to
check it out. This is a cute story and I highly recommend
it. Most of my information about this series has been
second-hand until now. I miss having young children as it
was always an excuse to go with them to a Disney movie or
read them a children's classic. It is nice to see a new
classic developing and I suggest you don't miss it just
because it is for children. Read it... recognizing the age
group it is written for with its childlike fantasy while
enjoying the plot. As it is a children's story, of course
it is different than paranormal romance, but it is a
paranormal that can be enjoyed even though you are no
longer a child. Recognize firstly that we are not "in our world" so the
world
where we find Harry in is not entirely like ours. The
events of Harry's early life are not all that promising and
occasionally strange things happen. He seems a bit
confused about why he is being treated this way by his
uncle & family. As his 11th birthday and the new school
season approaches, he is finding suddenly that even more
strange things are happening. Much is explained on his
birthday. To find out that he is considered a famous
wizard was astounding, but to be going to Hogwarts School
of Wizardry was a greatest present of all. We find out
about this alternative world -- a secret wizard's world --
with Harry and as things unfold become friends with some
the other characters. I love Hagrid -- a bumbling but lovable wizard. Visiting a
world of magic is fun and with us learning the rules along
with Harry it is easy to enjoy the trip. Meeting some of
the mythical creatures and envisioning the world is easy as
the settings are well done. Harry and his friends stumble upon the master wizards
secret at the school. They must save the Sorcer's Stone
from evil... but which master wizard is joined with evil? By
joining forces can 3 novice wizards handle and experienced
wizard and save the stone? Cy Korte © Copyright September 2000
